wth. what is this utter nonsense vanity doing in breaking news?
On the other hand to certify Electors that were questionable is not faithfully following the Constitution affirmed by OATH whereas:
Reason?
Thanks for bringing SENSE to the site.
No one was asking Pence to reverse anything. All that was being asked of Pence was to delay counting the votes due to the fact that State Legislatures from PA and AZ were asking for time to review what happened in their states, and reportedly GA and WI legislatures wanted the same. The Governors of those states were refusing to let the State Legislatures call a special session so they had to wait until regular session.
There is absolutely nothing in the Constitution saying the Electoral Votes must be counted on January 6th.
According to President Trump’s attorney John Eastman, Pence grossly exaggerated and mis-characterized what they were asking him to do.
You are setting up a straw man fallacy.
The request of Pence wasn't for him to "unilaterally ignore the election results".
Four state legislatures sent letters to Pence saying that they were taking back their constitutional right to send the electors.
And they requested five to ten days to investigate and then send the electors.
Pence should have accepted that request. It would have been the correct constitutional thing to do. But Pence didn't do that.
Every GOP POS is running for some type of cover right now. Including State GOP asshats who lacked the testicular fortitude to do anything in the first place. The GOP needs people to believe they were on Trumps side therefore they were on our side. Are we really still that stupid? Or do they just think we are? The RINOS like Cheney who are safe for reelection could care less, but because of her and the other RINOS who turned on we the people, the GOP will never see another dime from me.
FNC THE GOP!
If so, are we going to do something constructive or just belly-ache?
All of this!
BS...
All Pence had to do is call for a special, 10 day vote delay, to form a commission to investigate voter despute and to report back the findings.
This would have been the right thing to do and there is precedence for it in the 1877 POTUS election Electoral dispute between candidates Tilden - Hayes.
n 1876, when the nation went to the polls to elect Grant’s successor, Democratic candidate Samuel Tilden, governor of New York, emerged with a lead of more than 260,000 popular votes. But Tilden had amassed only 184 electoral votes—one shy of the number needed to defeat his Republican opponent, Governor Rutherford B. Hayes of Ohio. Returns from three states (Louisiana, Florida, South Carolina) were in dispute, with both sides claiming victory. Together, the states represented a total of 19 electoral votes, which along with one disputed elector from Oregon would be enough to swing the election Hayes’s way.
The U.S. Constitution provided no way of resolving the dispute, and now Congress would have to decide. As Democrats controlled the House of Representatives, and Republicans dominated in the Senate, the two sides compromised by creating a bipartisan electoral commission with five representatives, five senators and five Supreme Court justices.
Though the commission was supposed to be comprised of seven Republicans, seven Democrats and one independent, the independent—Supreme Court Justice David Davis—ended up dropping out when he was offered a Senate seat, and a Republican was named to replace him. In the end, after a series of votes along strict party lines, the commission awarded Hayes all three of the contested states in early March 1877, making him the winner by a single electoral vote.
Just the day before the loser Pence was saying “we’re going to hold the line!”
At the very least Trump exposed the cowards.
We must vote out every single Republican incumbent the next time they are up for election, every one of them is tainted.
‘
He wouldn’t take Trump’s calls and didn’t consult him on the Lawsuits he filed.
Do you think Tim Kaine would do this to Hillary?
Think Biden would do it to Obama?
Please.
Almost everyone turned on Trump, and we now most prefer the Republicans that are designed and planned to fall and kneel before the Democrats, like John McCain.
.
Let’s get real. Pence was AWOL for two months after the election. He used none of his mainline GOP gravitas to apply pressure to other national and state Republicans to support their fellow Republicans who were victims of Democrat voter fraud.
The steal certification issue is a red herring. It’s what the GOP did or more importantly did not do before AND after the election. The GOP aided and abetted the steal at every stage. That makes the steal a fully bipartisan get Trump operation.
The guy actually misrepresented the request of Pence from the Trump team.
Anybody can set up a straw man fallacy and then knock it down, and that's what the poster did.
I wouldn't call that "SENSE".
But you would.
” It was always a ludicrous argument. “
Ludicrous is an understatement.
But the Qtards believed it anyway.
Which is prima facie proof they’ll believe anything.
Pence did the right thing. Personally, I hope he sticks around and stays in politics.
He is a conservative, like me.
Nope. I will never vote for him. At this moment in time, the only one I would even consider voting for his Cruz.
I no longer recognize this place.
I hope they didn't spend much time on the court cases given their record.
Their PR campaign was much, much more effective.
Thank you for setting morons straight so i dont have to send insulting posts.
And these are supposed to be conservative freepers who understand how politics works yeesh
